Limelight Lyrics

Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal For those who think and feel In touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role, ill-equipped to act With insufficient tact One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact
Living in the limelight, the universal dream For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be Must put aside the alienation Get on with the fascination The real relation, the underlying theme
Living in a fish eye lens, caught in the camera eye I have no heart to lie I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend
All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players Performers and portrayers Each anothers audience outside the gilded cage
Living in the limelight, the universal dream For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be Must put aside the alienation Get on with the fascination The real relation, the underlying theme
Living in the limelight, the universal dream For those who wish to see
Those who wish to be Must put aside the alienation Get on with the fascination The real relation, the underlying theme The real relation, the underlying theme
